BAP
A suite of utilities and libraries for analyzing binary programs, supporting multiple architectures and offering symbolic execution.
What is BAP?
Binary Analysis Platform (BAP) is a comprehensive framework for binary program analysis developed at Carnegie Mellon University. It enables disassembly, lifting, and analysis of binaries across multiple architectures like x86, ARM, and MIPS, providing tools for symbolic execution, microexecution, and custom analysis implementations. The platform solves the problem of analyzing binary programs without source code, supporting both out-of-the-box utilities and deep customization for specialized research or security tasks.
Security researchers, reverse engineers, and academic researchers working on binary analysis, vulnerability discovery, or program verification. It is also suitable for developers building custom analysis tools or integrating binary analysis capabilities into larger applications.
Developers choose BAP for its extensible plugin architecture, multi-architecture support, and the Primus Lisp DSL for writing analyses. Its unique selling point is bridging academic research with practical binary analysis, offering both a ready-to-use framework and the flexibility to embed it as a library in OCaml, C, or Python applications.
